An exceptional 19th-century kidney-shaped writing table, displaying refined craftsmanship and elegant decorative detailing throughout. This sophisticated piece retains its original painted decoration, enhanced with finely worked giltwood detailing and charming Wedgwood-style plaques depicting classical cherub scenes.
The table features a gracefully shaped top fitted with a leather writing surface, offering both practicality and visual contrast. Below, a single central drawer provides useful storage, seamlessly integrated into the design without interrupting the flowing form of the table.
Raised on elegant fluted tapering legs, the table is united by a shaped stretcher fitted with an upholstered footrest, adding both structural balance and decorative presence. The proportions and kidney-shaped silhouette give the piece a light, refined appearance, making it ideal as a writing table, centre table, or statement piece in a sophisticated interior.
This table remains in original, un
...touched condition, preserving the authenticity, surface character, and charm expected of a genuine 19th-century piece. The survival of the original paintwork and decorative elements adds considerable desirability and collectability.
A rare and highly decorative writing table, perfectly suited to both traditional and classical interiors.
Condition:
Very good antique condition, consistent with age. Original painted surfaces, giltwood details, and plaques intact, with gentle wear commensurate with use.
